Southern's PR campaign against their own staff

The company continues to publicly berate its staff for sins such as 'refusing to work on their rest days' and has not yet answered my, or anyone else's point about their bullying of staff. This cannot be allowed to pass! This petition is still open, and now less than 300 away from the two-and-a-half thousand marker. Let's give it another share-about and see if we can find more signatures. Today, RMT and ASLEF drivers have joined the battle against driver-only trains. The drivers do not want the responsibility of seeing passengers safely on and off the train in the long and crowded stations of the Southern area - they know that even the guards find it hard to keep their eyes on 500+ people at once, and that the duty will involve long trains and less-than straight platforms. They know that the most likely moment for accidents is the one prior to departure, where they will have their eyes on the signals ahead, not the platform or TV monitors. And yet yesterday in The Times, GTR once again pointlessly stated that 'there will be no wage cut' - giving readers the impression this dispute is about guards fighting for money. My reply to Myriam Walberger's letter 4 days ago received a 'Myriam has gone on holiday' message but I have now received a reply from another person who is not Charles Horton. She admits that she "can only reiterate that the changes aim to allow more time for customer service from on board staff, using a proven method of operation, where the driver operates the doors. We are offering all our on board staff a job, with no salary reduction" This is the 'proven method of operation' which caused the accident in East Dunbarton (the victim of that accident having sustained "life-changing" injuries), and the accident at Hayes and Harlington last summer. And yet again, we have the irrelevant statement that there is 'no salary reduction'. GTR claim the unions are trying to 'take us back to the 1970s. Well there's an idea. - Here's an interview with Oliver Lewis from 'Bring Back British Rail'...
